This has been a challenge for us, too, in recent years.

I'm using my notebook on the couch with the TV muted. CNN is showing the "highlights" of 2008. That should take about 28 seconds. :o

When they get to the lowlights, well, there may not be enough time left in the year to hit all of them.

2009 is going to be better. It can't be any worse. B)

And, yes, rabbits can be trained to use a litter box. Cats can too, although I understand that occasional mishaps are possible with both species. Jess, watch your step! ;)

HEEEEEYYYYY, PASILLLLIEEEEEESSS!!

Am NOT drunk....but I had, for the first time, a MOJITO, followed by my first COSMO.

OMG. Thank gawd I gave myself extra insulin........so much sugar, it's unbelievable. But they were delicious.

By about 10:30, I was telling the six other couples at this gathering ALLLLLLL about Sam Hill Manhead, the entire mystery, how it gripped us through the final couple of months of 2008.

:huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh::huh:<_<

(That last face is Will, who knows full well the whole story, but is rather tired of it and....well....perhaps embarrassed? I cannot imagine.....).....

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Spent the evening at our friend's house .........a yearly tradition. It's always a good time......fun games, plenty of food, and lively conversation :)

There was only one thing that was slightly annoying........anytime someone mentioned my weight loss, my friend would yell, "That's because she doesn't eat anything!" All she knows is what my restrictions are.......she is never around to see me eat. She is struggling with her own weight right now, and I think she's a bit jealous. <_<

......and btw......I had shrimp, raw veggies, and tortilla chips :P

Check out Open Original Shared Link

Check out 1 and 11 :lol:

:lol:

Coincidence?.........I think not! :lol::lol::lol:

.....and me favorite number.....7.....is chocolate! :P

Can someone tell me why boobs are in the same group as storms, black holes, etc.?

Did you know bunnies can be litter-box trained? I'm so excited! I told my boyfriend we're gonna have one someday.

My son had a litter trained bunny. They usually pick a favorite corner of the cage to do their business, so that's where you put the litter tray.

Edit: Took away my fantabulous birthday greeting to Ptaughmnus <_< .........see next post. <liarliarpantsonfire>

So Ptaoughmn..........when is the eventful day? :huh:

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.   
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I apologize.  Obviously I've confused you with someone else.  I have vision problems due to undiagnosed Celiac complications.  Being legally blind, y'all look the same from here.   You still have not said which new medication you started taking.  Parathyroid disorders can affect antibody production.  Bone Loss Correlated with Parathyroid Hormone Levels in Adult Celiac Patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36619734/ Effect of vitamin B1 supplementation on bone turnover markers in adults: an exploratory single-arm pilot study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12075007/

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me        
    • knitty kitty
      @catnapt,  I'm sorry you're having such a rough time.   How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them.  Do you pressure cook your beans?  Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking?  Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production.  Do you have anemia?
    • catnapt
      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st   worst 12 days of my life   Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔
